I'm working on a story with Hermes as one of the primary characters and I need some advice.

Hello there, first time poster here. As the title says, I need some advice. I'm writing a cross mythology fantasy story series with Hermes as one of the primary characters (though not necessarily the protagonist but he does touch on each era in one way or another). He goes through some transformations within the story as follows:

To start off he is Hermes-Thoth, a blend of well Hermes and the Egyptian God of Wisdom Thoth, who believes that Amon-Jove (a blend of Zeus and Amun-Ra) has taken too many liberties as the supreme Skyfather (especially with mortals) and needs to be overthrown. Using cunning he stole the "Sovereignty of Thunder" from Amon-Jove along side his brother Ares-Onuris. Casting down Amon-Jove to a lesser role, Hermes-Thoth takes on the role of the Skyfather under the name of Odin. Amon-Jove becomes the former Skyfather turned War God Tyr and Ares-Onuris is empowered by the Sovereignty of Thunder to become Odin's mystical enforcer and guardian of mankind Thor.

All of that was just to ask a question of this community: what should this being's name be? Hermes? Hermes-Thoth? Odin? Mercury? Thrice Great Hermes (Hermes Trismegistus)?

If this type of post isn't allowed on here I apologize, this sub just seemed like the best place to ask.
